SETTING CUTTING DEPTH
For a clean perfect cut, it is recommended to adjust
the cutting depth according to the wood thickness by
having the saw blade protrude through the material.
In order to adjust the cutting depth, loosen the wing
nut

and move the machine upwards or downwards
(Fig.4), to the desired position and tighten the wing
nut
(J)
.

It is possible to cut vertically and with an inclination
of up to 45º. Angle is set by loosening wing nut
(K)
,
tilt the base using the scale as a guide and retighten
wing nut

binding/seizing during cutting operations and it must
always be used for safety purposes. The machine is
supplied with the riving knife adjusted.
When mounting a new saw blade, the riving knife
must be adjusted:
Raise the mobile guard
(A)
and loosen screw
(M)
.
Move the riving knife so the arc of the knife is 2-3mm
(5mm max.) from the saw blade tips
(Q)
and is 2-3mm
(5mm max.) higher than the base of the blade
(R)
.
